Following events in Ferguson last year, we have been reminded – more than ever – of the power in collective action. The foundation of AFROPUNK itself is community! Therefore at this year’s AFROPUNK festival, we would like to partner up with a group of non-profit organizations; and for those who donate time and effort to these non-profits, you will receive guaranteed access to this year’s festival. But we need your suggestions. In the comments, tell us which organisations you would like to see us partner with. And listen to the latest AFROPUNK mixtape, below – ‘Black Lives Always Mattered’.
